abstract background: stressors in the intensive care unit (icu) impair patients’ comfort, excite the stress response, and increase oxygen consumption in their body. non‑medical interventions are recommended by several studies as a treatment to improve comfort in the icu patients. sensory stimulation is one of the most important interventions. since arterial blood oxygen saturation is an importa...

Introduction: Prolonged and intermittent oxygen pre-exposure is associated with protection against ischemic reperfusion (IR) injury. In the current study, attempts were made to investigate the relationship between exposure to prolonged and intermittent normobaric hyperoxia (NBHO) and expression of excitatory amino acids transporters (EAATs) and TNF-α level. Method: Rats were divided into fo...

Objective(s):Gentamicin sulphate (GS) nephrotoxicity seems to be related to the generation of reactive oxygen species. There is evidence that oxygen preconditioning increases the activity of antioxidant enzymes. Materials and Methods: Forty eight female rats were divided into 6 groups (n=8) as follows: group 1 was the control, group 2 received daily GS, groups 3,4 and 5 received oxygen 2 hr/day...
